Honoring Veterans Through Horses – Why We Created Stars & Stirrups

At Texas Equine, we believe in the power of horses to heal, support, and connect people. That belief led us to create Stars & Stirrups, a program dedicated to veterans and first responders. This initiative is more than just an equestrian experience—it’s a way to honor those who have served our country.

The Healing Power of Horses

Horses provide a unique form of therapy for veterans, offering:

✔ Emotional healing – The calming presence of a horse can help with PTSD and anxiety.

✔ Physical benefits – Riding improves balance, coordination, and core strength.

✔ A sense of purpose – Working with horses fosters confidence and connection.

Our Mission

Stars & Stirrups was created to give back to those who have given so much. By providing access to riding, groundwork, and equine-assisted therapy, we hope to offer veterans and first responders a space where they can find peace, rebuild confidence, and experience the incredible bond between horse and rider.

Conclusion

Through Stars & Stirrups, we honor our heroes by introducing them to the healing and transformative power of horses. During this Memorial Day weekend, please keep in mind what this weekend is all about. We salute all who have served, all who have given their lives, and all who are yet still serving, all for our freedom.
